Guest hekatombe Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Hi, I want to swap the 3.96 R&P of my r200 shortnose (with ABS sensor) for a new set of 4.36 R&P. Do you know where can I find an explanation of how to do it? I want to do it myself with the help of my friend (he is mechanic) Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifton Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 If you have to ask, it's probably going to turn out bad. I've done quite a few and I think it's easier rebuilding an engine or trans than setting up a diff. You need a press, bearing seperater, dial indicator, calipers or mic, and an assortment of shims to adjust the pinion height and backlash. Then you have to get the pattern right and with out experience that can take some time to get right. I would guess 95% of professional mechanics haven't set up a diff. I would either buy a 4.36 diff or bring it to a drivetrain shop that does alot of diffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 fast z Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Yea one main important thing, is the height of the pinion, once that is correct, set a bit of clearence for backlash, about 8 thou of an inch, and your good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
